There are 3 charging stages:
Bulk Charging: (fast charge LED solid)
This is the initial stage of charging. While Bulk Charging, the
charger supplies the battery with controlled constant current. The charger will remain in Bulk charge until
the Absorption charge voltage (determined by the Battery Type selection) is achieved.
A software timer will measure the time from A/C start until the battery charger reaches 0.3V below the
boost voltage, then take this time asT0 and T0×10 = T1.
Absorb Charging: (fast charge LED blinking)
This is the second charging stage and begins after the
absorb voltage has been reached. Absorb Charging provides the batteries with a constant voltage and
reduces the DC charging current in order to maintain the absorb voltage setting.
In this period, the inverter will start a T1 timer; the charger will keep the boost voltage in Boost CV
mode until the T1 timer has run out. Then drop the voltage down to the float voltage. The timer has a
minimum time of 1 hour and a maximum time of 12 hours.
Float Charging: (float charge LED solid) The third charging stage occurs at the end of the Absorb
Charging time. While Float charging, the charge voltage is reduced to the float charge voltage
(determined by the Battery Type selection*). In this stage, the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if
needed by the inverter.
If the A/C is reconnected or the battery voltage drops below 12Vdc/24Vdc, the charger will restart the above
cycle.
If the charge maintains the float state for 10 days, the charger will deliberately reset the cycle to protect the
battery.
